Linus Torvalds	793ae77469	Add "memory" clobbers to the x86 inline asm of strncmp and friends ... They don't actually clobber memory, but gcc doesn't even know they _read_ memory, so can apparently re-order memory accesses around them. Which obviously does the wrong thing if the memory access happens to change the memory that the compare function is accessing.. Verified to fix a strange boot problem by Jens Axboe.	20 years ago
Denis Vlasenko	d5b63d78f1	[PATCH] fix i386 memcpy ... This patch shortens non-constant memcpy() by two bytes and fixes spurious out-of-line constant memcpy(). # size vmlinux.org vmlinux text data bss dec hex filename 3954591 1553426 236544 5744561 57a7b1 vmlinux.org 3952615 1553426 236544 5742585 579ff9 vmlinux Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>	20 years ago
Linus Torvalds	1da177e4c3	Linux-2.6.12-rc2 ... Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!	20 years ago
